H&R Springs fitment?

triggz · 08-19-2013, 12:49 PM

Do h&r springs fit both the 328 and 335 or are they different?

edirtaynine · 08-19-2013, 01:40 PM

they fit fine. as does coupe/sedan.

the only thing to really keep an eye out for is whether it's for an xi model or not.

I belive they not they same as the 335 is heavier so u probably wint get a big drop

triggz · 08-19-2013, 03:04 PM

Can anyone confirm?

edirtaynine · 08-19-2013, 03:24 PM

the weight difference is true...but in my opinion insignficant.

i have an e92 328i. im on e90 335 race springs. my car sits just as low as other e92's on h&r race springs on e92 springs.

So if you had 328 springs on a 335 it would sit lower?

You'll be fine.. I just installed ST coils on my E90 and I bought it from a E82 owner. I know you're talking about just springs but the point is they are interchangeable. Just don't buy ones that fits xi/xDrive.

Even with E90/E92 models.

Xdrive springs fit non xdrive. Only xdrive front shocks are different, and even then that is only the lower part that fits into the hub. xdrive rear shocks and non xdrive rears are interchangeable.

Note "fit" is not the same as "is appropriate for".

Also I checked once couple of years ago, H&R sport springs for xdrive were the same # as non xdrive but they charged more. Not sure if that is still true. Many people (me included) use Eibach non xdrive springs on xdrive. There are no fitment issues but ride heights/drops are not the same due to extra weight of xdrive.

Gotcha, If you say so.
